Critic reviews

"An outstanding survey of this captivating episode of America's heritage." ( American Archaeology)
"Accessible and plainspoken account of the Iroquois and their homeland... book's strength lies in its use of enthnohistory." ( New York History)
"Essential reading not only for scholars... but also anyone interested in understanding contemporary Iroquois world view and politics." ( Ontario Archaeology)

Great introduction to an amazing topic

This text was extremely informative. Saturated with archaeological information encompassing the native peoples of the North Eastern before they became the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, this book is a great resource for history enthusiasts or people who want to learn more about these people. The voice work by Caleb Rector was a bit dry, but Engelbrecht’s work seems thorough - even citing other archeologists’ and historians’ works.

Scholarly and Thorough

The information is highly academic with many citations and if your looking for a balanced view of a difficulty history to track this work is for you. I found many golden nuggets of insights that I was looking for.

Informative

Informative and full of facts. Narrator was dry and showed no emotion whatsoever. He read very fast and I had to slow down the speed so I could absorb the material. This is an EXCELLENT book and it's worth listening if you can get past the narrator.

Very Dry

This is a very dry text book with a few gems thrown in. Not worth the cost and effort.
